Nebula helps manage an engagement from the documents that define the work. It extracts the requirements, builds a shared delivery plan, and keeps deadlines, changes, evidence and delivery activity together throughout the engagement. This page shows the path from sign up to a working engagement.

Start an engagement

From the dashboard, choose New engagement and give it a name. An engagement is the work, people, decisions, risks, evidence and commercial positions that Nebula helps you manage together.

If you would rather look around first, choose Load sample engagement. This option remains on your dashboard until you create your first engagement. Nebula builds a worked example you can explore without uploading anything.

Choose your workspace

A new engagement asks whether the workspace is for just you or for shared delivery.

Just me. Nebula organises the requirements, parties, dates, risks and money positions it can ground in your documents. The working view remains private to you and keeps the source wording beside each finding.

With the other party. Invite the relevant participant to coordinate the work in a shared workspace. Sources, comments, decisions and each participant's position remain attributable.

You can invite another participant later without losing the material already in the engagement.

Add the source material

Open the engagement and add the documents that define the work. These can include an agreement, scope of work, brief, grant, specification, change order, purchase order or related correspondence.

Nebula extracts requirements and builds the working delivery plan from the source wording. You can review the interpretation, add guidance and correct your own position while the original source and earlier history remain available.

Review the delivery plan

Review the requirements, responsibilities, dependencies, dates and commercial positions Nebula has organised. The shared record keeps source observations, Nebula's interpretations, participant positions, accepted decisions and disputes distinct.

When the relevant participants accept a shared delivery plan, Nebula records who accepted it and the scope of that acceptance. A private workspace remains the owner's working view. Formal notices, money, rights, enforcement and reputation follow the authority and decision path that applies to each action.

Manage the engagement

Once delivery begins, Nebula keeps the working context current:

It manages accepted deadlines and sends the relevant reminders.
It records changes, decisions and extensions with their source and approval history.
It keeps budget positions, risks, work activity and evidence beside the requirements they affect.
It reports the available proof states for eligible recorded events.
It adds eligible delivery events to a contextual track record, with the supporting evidence and dispute state retained.

The engagement page shows the current work, the decisions that need attention and the record of what occurred.
